Subject: linux 2.4.0test1ac8+riels patch performs okay

hello,

just a little message about my positive experiences with ac8 + riels
patch (i didnot test without):

-> for the io performance it is the fastest development kernel i yet
tested. (got 6meg/sec where raw ac7 gave me about
     the half). this closely matches 2.2

-> it is much more responsive than any other development kernels i have
tested. offcourse this may be a bit subjective.
     even when under high load (eg starting netscape or soffice under
kde) my system stays responsive enough to
     continue working. This was not the case with ac7.

-> my collection of legal mp3's finally plays fluently !! woo hoo !


no need to say it survives the memtest suite.

keep on and thanks for the good work ...

kervel

PS

other kernels i tested :
ac7
ac7 + rogerL's patch
ac7 + riel #1 + rogerL's (crashed)
ac7 + riel #1
(ac8 + riels)
